I have the same issue. I have even replaced stock brakes and rotors with EBC and replaced both sensors but the high pitched squeal is still there. I also took the sensors off and drove the car and it still squealed. Any suggestions?

Hey, just my 2 cents. I replaced my brake pads with aftermarket ones and I had the squeal issue as well. I was beginning to think it was the brakes themselves that were bad/defective or I needed to replace the rotors as well.

What helped me get rid of the squeal 100% was the BED IN procedure. I advise you attempt this, but be careful because if done incorrectly, new pads and rotors will be needed. After the bed in, no more squeal, and the brake pedal is much more firmer/similar to my old pads which I was used to. Good luck!

If you trun the rotors when you replace the pads it will give you a fresh surface to bed the new pads to and they will not squeel.
